Intrinsic Elements Analysis: Setting in "A Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan PoeKania Manika Paramahita
The document analyzes the setting in Edgar Allan Poe's short story "A Tell-Tale Heart".

The analysis concludes that Poe purposefully kept the setting brief to create an eerie atmosphere for the reader.Story 20

"Theme of Poe's Short Stories"
This document provides a summary of themes in Edgar Allan Poe's short stories. It discusses how Poe explored themes of the divided self through characters creating alter egos, obsession driven by fear or curiosity, the complex relationship between love and hate, the blurred lines between sanity and madness, the power of human will over death, and images of burial and crypts in stories like "The Fall of the House of Usher." The document provides examples and analysis of how Poe depicted each of these themes in his Gothic short stories.
Allegory
The document discusses the concept of allegory through several examples. An allegory tells a story that can be interpreted to reveal a hidden meaning, typically a moral or political one.

The Faerie Queen by Edmund Spenser is also mentioned as a famous allegorical poem that uses fantasy to represent moral concepts like good versus evil.

Tell-Tale Heart - in class notes
The narrator insists he is sane but hears and sees things others do not. He cares for an old man with an "evil eye" but is driven mad by the eye. In a fit of madness, he kills the old man and hides his body. Though he believes he has committed the perfect crime, the beating of the old man's heart in his head overwhelms him until he confesses to the murder.
